The discovery was made by Curiosity's Sample Analysis at Mars instrument, NPR reported Tuesday. SAM is the rover's onboard chemistry lab, and it's capable of identifying organic compounds — the carbon-containing building blocks of life as we know it.
Organic compounds = life. NASA apparently wants to verify their discovery which is understandable, this is big news. Life on another planet other than Earth; life can exist outside of Earth, WOW.
Now any thinking person knows that life must exist on other planets, but this is the first real evidence of it. It is nice to have a little good news in a sea of bad news. Life on earth is clearly currently in decline.
